What Does NSTL Stand For?
NSTL stands for Near Surface Transition Layer
NSTL, or Near Surface Transition Layer, refers to the region in a fluid or solid medium that exhibits a gradient of physical properties, such as temperature, density, or composition, occurring just above or below a surface. This layer plays a critical role in processes such as heat and mass transfer, influencing environmental interactions and material behaviors at the interface. Understanding the dynamics of the NSTL is essential for applications in fields such as geophysics, materials science, and environmental engineering.
